firstly, happy lunar new year everyone!

okay i started the day by going to my grandma house. nothing much there actually. but i would always go there to drink at least two bowls of "qing tang". haha i like to drink "qing tang". maybe that's the reason why i am so "qing". i keep drinking a lot of water to fill my stomach. i drink like A LOT of plain water everyday. LOL. i think it is because the drink jar in my house got this quote written on it: "in the midst of the sahara, an oasis is a welcome relieve to any traveller". don't know why this is printed on the drink jar. it is not part of the brand name or seomthing. but i remembered my mother used to force me to drink a lot of plain water. and in order to give myself a thirsty sensation to drink plain water i would REALLY imagine myself being stranded in the sahara desert without any water to dirnk. miraculously enough i become "addicted" to plain water. i am serious. i think i drink TOO MUCH plain water everyday it is posing side effects on me like how drugs do. no wonder i eat so little. HALF my stomach is already bloated by plain water. i think my whole body is 99.9999...(recurring)% consisting of liquid. okay my chinese new year resolution: DON'T DRINK EXCESSIVE PLAIN WATER!

oh my, i think i am digressing a lot. okay after going to my grandmother house, i went to my mother's mother house, which is also grandmother's house, but i shall call it granmother2's house to avoid confusion. went there ate lunch and went around bai-nian-ing. hehe because all my cousins and aunties and uncles live at the SAME FLOOR in the SAME BLOCK. how cool was that. just go to my grandmother2's place could receive a lot of hongbaos. HAHA. after that went back to my grandmother2's house and started to play MAHJONG. haha i finally learned how to play yesterday. i think it is like maths. PROBABILITY. haha.

my auntie's "hongbao" is so funny! it is not a ordinary red packet AKA hongbao. it is a "present". LOL. using takashimaya wrapping paper, she wrapped the money like a gift and gave them to us. because her mother-in-law just passed away and she could not give hongbaos. so she gave us "presents" instead. which if you examine CLOSELY is actually a "revised and edited" hongbao. okay "high-class" hongbao. i thought my aunt was really creative, maybe next time wrapping money as gifts will be "THE NEXT BIG THING".

talking about creative, i think my grandmother2 is super creative. the lock of her house's toilet spoiled. in the end guess what she did. SHE MODIFY A WIRE HANGER INTO A D.I.Y LOCK. she un-twist a wire hook and reshaped it to fasten the door together. it's like a "removable" lock. at first i didn't know how to use it, and had to ask my grandmother2 to demostrate how to use that new gadget. :P

enough said, i feel like drinking plain water now. AH HELP ME!
